Simulating a 20-hour discharge test in seconds, the ACT CHROME 12V SLA Intelligent Battery Tester displays the DC Voltage and available Ampere hour (Ah) capacity of standby lead acid batteries between 1.2Ah and 200Ah.The ACT CHROME uses advanced pulsed load technology to deliver accurate DC Voltage and Ah capacity results based on the battery's temperature and state of charge. A quick look up table on the side of the unit identifies when batteries should be recharged or replaced due to age or operating conditions (65% of rated capacity). A temperature sensitive strip allows the ambient temperature to also be recorded. The ACT CHROME IBT offers a simple and accurate solution for testing 12V SLA batteries commonly used in fire, security and many other electrical systems.

Temperature effects capacityMany battery manufacturers rate their batteries at 20?CBelow 20?C, the battery can have a significantly lower available capacityOver 20?C, the battery can have a significantly higher available capacityThis can easily be as much as ?50% of the rated capacityBear in mind the differences in temperature when testing ? for example in an enclosure or next to a hot transformer (high than rated reading) or located externally / cold environment (lower than rated reading)Quick Tip ? State of charge effects capacityMost battery manufacturers rate their batteries at restCharging voltages and currents have a direct impact on available capacityBear in mind when testing batteries recently removed from chargeMany new batteries are not fully charged when producedQuick Tip ? Connection effects resultsAlways connect to clean battery terminalsA tight grip around the battery tab terminals is essential for accurate readingsDo not connect to high resistance bolts as this will produce low Ah resultsWhere bolt connections are present, use the ACT 3532 Battery Terminal Connectors supplied with your ACT CHROMESpecificationDetailsOperating Voltage12VDCReverse Polarity ProtectionDiodeBattery Types12V SLA (sealed lead acid)Battery Sizes1.2Ah - 200AhAH Capacity TestSimulated 20 hour (C20) load test to 10.50VDCAH ResultBased on the battery under test temperature and state of chargeBattery TableRecharge or replace battery when Ah capacity available falls below 65% of the battery`s stated capacityDisplay TypeGreen back-lit LCDFlat Battery Warning<10.50VDCRepeat Test OperationMax 5 test cycles per 30 minutes.
